TRENDING: Asari Dokubo Brandishes AK-47 Rifles In Viral Video, Threatens Igbos (WATCH)

A former Niger Delta Militant, Asari Dokubo, has been filmed brandishing an AK-47 rifle and threatening to kill all Igbos, an ethnic group predominant in Nigeria’s South-east.

In a video clip which has now gone viral on various social media platforms, Mr Dokubo was heard calling the Igbos “slaves”, whom he said he would have continued to “sell” if not for the intervention of the British government.

According to REMIUM TIMES, the clip was released by Mr Dokubo in late September 2022, but first went viral days later in October, about eight months ago.

The clip appeared on a YouTube page on 1 October 2022.

The former militant, in the clip, was apparently criticising supporters of the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, saying they lied about holding two million-man match in Jos, Plateau State for the LP candidate in a 15-thousand capacity stadium.

The two million-man match for Mr Obi at the stadium was held on 17 September 2022, ahead of the 25 February presidential election.

Mr Dokubo, in the clip, appeared to be responding to a write up against him by some Obidients, a popular name for supporters of Mr Obi, who hails from the Igbo-speaking community in Anambra State.

But the former militant leader, who spoke on varied issues, would later end up making ethnic slurs against the Igbos, believed to be major supporters of the LP candidate.

“You take your leprosy hand to write (against me). You don’t have respect for the people who bought your father? Is it every Kalabari man that is a Kalabari man? Do you know your roots (that) you talk to me? You don’t know that people own this Kalabari,” he said in the clip.

Mr Dokubo is a Kalabari, a part of the Ijaw ethnic nationality in Rivers State, Nigeria’s South-south.

He had repeatedly voiced his support for the then APC presidential candidate, now Nigeria’s President, Bola Tinubu.

“Igbos, I don’t know them. I don’t know where they come from. Because I know that if not for British intervention, I will still be selling them the way my father sold them,” he said.

He also mocked the Igbos, saying they were “dying” in large numbers and ridiculed Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), for being rearrested and brought back to Nigeria from Kenya.

“You will do a video to sell that Alhaji has run away? Are you seeing me? I don’t run,” Mr Dokubo stated, apparently referring to himself, as he brandishes the AK-47 rifle.

“Una head no correct,” he spoke in Pidgin English, while picking and brandishing another AK-47rifle.

The former militant later threatened to “kill all Igbos.”

“E be like say una dey look for who go finish una? Look for una everywhere (and) finish una. Una dey see me?” he stated in Pidgin English.

When translated into English language, the expression means, “Is like you people (Igbos) are looking for who will kill you all? Like hunt for you everywhere and kill all of you.”
